What are the conditions for surgical correction of myopia, and is it okay to have astigmatism?
Myopia generally refers to refractive error. The conditions for surgical correction of patients with refractive error usually include age, prescription and eye condition, and whether astigmatism can be corrected by surgery needs to be judged on a case-by-case basis.
1. Conditions for surgical correction of patients with refractive error
1. Age: Patients with refractive error can only be considered for treatment by laser surgery after the age of 18, because at this time the eye is fully developed and the cornea is thick enough to be more suitable for laser surgery.
2. Power: If the patient's myopia is relatively low and there are no obvious uncomfortable symptoms, no special treatment is required.
However, if the patient's myopia is relatively high, and symptoms such as blurred vision and decreased vision occur, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time and improve it by wearing glasses under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Ocular conditions: If the patient has dry eye, glaucoma and other diseases, it is not suitable for laser surgery, so as not to lead to aggravation of the condition and is not conducive to physical health.
2. Whether astigmatism can be corrected by surgery
Astigmatism is a common refractive error eye disease caused by different refractive powers of the eye on different meridians. If it is regular astigmatism, it can be corrected surgically, but if it is irregular astigmatism, it cannot be corrected surgically.
It is recommended that patients pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid looking at electronic products at close range for a long time, and avoid staying up late for a long time to avoid myopia.
At the same time, we should also pay attention to a reasonable diet and eat foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, pork liver, etc., which can supplement the nutrients needed by the body and promote vision recovery. If there is obvious discomfort during the period, it is necessary to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying the condition.
